Chapter 18 Dead Wood in Spring
Here, the conversation between Ye Yunyi and the Queen Mother ended, and Taige's side encountered difficulties again.
Emperor Chu died, who will inherit the throne, the newly deceased Chu Emperor has only been on the throne for a few years, but there are no heirs, but several adult side branches are still locked up in Xing Prison Division because of their participation in the previous collusion between Uncle Chu and Yan State.
Now that the Empress Dowager is still in the palace, how to handle the affairs of Emperor Chu is another difficult problem.
Coupled with Uncle Chu's trouble, in order to block the news, they cut off contact with the border army, and now the specific situation of the border army is unknown, although there is Ye Beijiang to guard, but without the support of the Chu court, the border army is easy to have accidents.
As soon as Ye Yunyi walked downstairs, he was stopped by Fang Ji, one of the elders.
"Pavilion Master, I don't know what you plan to do with the old faction", Ye Yunyi bypassed Fang Ji, and did not like to deal with him, and continued to walk along the palace road.
And Fang Ji caught up with Ye Yunyi and followed closely, hoping that Ye Yunyi would give him an exact message.
After all, Fang Ji represents the old school, and now that the entire old school has been purged, then he, the spokesperson of the old school, will completely lose his value and be eliminated.
Looking at Fang Ji, who was following closely, Ye Yunyi still stopped and asked, "Elder Fang, do you think they should be damned for Uncle Chu", and asked Fang Ji directly in one sentence.
Uncle Chu deserves to die, as a courtier, he colluded with other countries to murder the monarch, he deserves to die.
Trying to hold the military power hostage and trying to subvert the government, damn it.
As a nobleman, he enjoys the support of the people of Chu, but he vainly tries to turn the people of Chu into slaves of the country, and he deserves death.
Therefore, Ye Yunyi did not have any sympathy for Uncle Chu and them, and Ye Yunyi did not have the slightest idea of continuing to talk to him about Fang Ji, who was still trying to intercede for them at this point.
Directly shook off Fang Ji and continued to walk towards the city gate, leaving only Fang Ji with a dead face and a person to stay in place.
Suddenly thinking of something, Fang Ji's face immediately returned from gray to flushed, and he rushed over and grabbed Ye Yunyi.
"Then the queen mother, the queen mother didn't know about this incident at all, even if they planned to kill you, it was Uncle Chu who made their own decisions, and the queen mother didn't know at all, she entered the palace just because Uncle Chu was blinded by their family affection, and I also stubbornly guarded the identity of your secret pavilion, which made them miscalculate.
And now only the queen mother has the ability to inherit the unification with prestige, which is also the most justifiable." Fang Ji asked Ye Yunyi in an almost pleading manner.
"Why do you have to set up an emperor on your head, without a king, the people of this country will not be able to live, and the Yan and Jin kingdoms will not attack us?" Ye Yunyi asked rhetorically.
Ye Yunyi, who had just been talking with the Queen Mother for a long time, knew that the Queen Mother no longer had that ambition, so what Fang Ji said now was nothing more than his wishful thinking.
"Pavilion master, even if we are incompetent, we are also familiar with historical books and ancient books, since the unification of the world, to today's pattern of countries, but I have never seen a fiefdom without a monarch can be called a country", Fang Ji continued to ask.
"Then have you ever seen a woman claim the title of emperor in history", Ye Yunyi asked rhetorically.
"That's different, the queen mother's accession to the throne is to follow the trend, it is the destiny of heaven, and it should create a new prosperous era of the Chu State", Fang Ji argued anxiously.
"Yes, since you can think that the Queen Mother's accession to the throne is a new chapter, then I should do what the people want, and if there is no Son of Heaven, will the history books of later generations record that we have created a new era", Ye Yunyi sneered.
"You are using strong words, you must know that your Ye family has been loyal and good for generations, aren't you afraid of dishonoring your Ye ancestor by doing this", seeing that Ye Yunyi couldn't say it, Fang Ji moved out of the Ye ancestor and tried to persuade Ye Yunyi.
"It's because my Ye family has been loyal and good for generations, you look at these Chu Emperors, aside from Gaozu, you look at Taizu, who has been in power for more than 20 years, without any merits, not to mention any merits, only cares about his own pleasure, and he didn't even choose an heir to the throne, which provoked all the princes to rise up one after another."
"Look at the Chu Emperor who just died, after a few years of reign, for a few gadgets, he gave Su Ye City, which had been guarded by several generations of border troops, directly to Yan State."
"Do you tell me that such a monarch is worthy of the soldiers who fought to the death for a small piece of border land; That's right, what are the secret guards who are piled up on the mountain and sleep forever, are they still worthy of the love of the people, wake up", Ye Yunyi was furious.
At this time, Fang Ji only cared about the queen mother's accession to the throne, so that he could continue to be his old Taige elder.
After finishing speaking, Ye Yunyi flicked his sleeves, ignored the paranoid Fang Ji behind him, and walked outside the palace.
Now that he is dealing with the Chu State's own family affairs behind closed doors, the Dark Pavilion will send the Dark Blade out to intercept the spies who are trying to enter the Chu State, and it is estimated that the sacrifice is huge, if he does not order the order to cancel the interception, then the Dark Blade will drag down which spies even if he fights to the last.
And as a result, the Dark Pavilion was once again on the verge of extinction, and the last time such a situation occurred was when Gaozu succeeded to the throne.
When Ye Yunyi walked quickly to the gate of the palace, he saw Xuanqi galloping on horseback, this Xuanqi still had blood stains on his body, and the clothes on his hands also cut a hole, and the coagulated blood stuck the hole together.
When he arrived, Xuan Qi jumped off his horse and came to Ye Yunyi and said: "Pavilion Master, the military secret spies of the Yan State and the fine work of the Jin State have withdrawn from the Chu State for some reason, so do you need to pursue them."
"What are the casualties of the secret guards?" Ye Yunyi asked.
"In addition to the sacrifice of the three shadow teams that were exposed in Yan Country to deliver the news, we also lost one-third of our personnel in the process of interception, and the remaining half were wounded." Xuan Qi informed Ye Yunyi of the latest casualties.
"There's no need to pursue anymore, the sacrificed brothers will be treated kindly, the injured will recuperate in situ, and the lost intelligence network will be recovered as soon as possible, and the walls and grasses that were plotted against the imperial city before will be cut off." Ye Yunyi commanded.
After finishing speaking, Xuan Qi saw Ye Yunyi continue to move forward, and he wanted to give up the horse to Ye Yunyi.
"No, you go and do it as soon as possible, don't let the sacrificed brothers chill, after this battle, the dark pavilion was hit hard, and at the same time, the court was completely cleaned, and the Chu State will be stable for at least twenty years in the future." Ye Yunyi waved his hand and said.
Come and rush, go and rush, Xuanqi rode on a horse and galloped away.
After Ye Yunyi saw Xuanqi leaving, he continued to walk forward, and after walking a few steps, he arrived at the market outside the Chu Palace.
Before, because the army was arrayed outside the palace gate, the vendors hid in their homes, but now that they saw that it was quiet outside, they opened the doors one after another to see what was going on outside, which made the streets that were still deserted before come to life.
Ye Yunyi walked quietly on the street alone, it was very strange for the people who were curious about what was going on, but they were just curious, no one dared to step forward to disturb Ye Yunyi, they were more interested in whether there would be any big changes in the Chu Kingdom.
At this time, it is March, the cold east wind blows in the face, and the stream flowing down from the Minshan Mountain crosses the entire imperial city, and after flowing into the imperial city, it merges into the rippling river Cuining River, dividing the neighborhood into two banks. The willows along the shore are sprouting new shoots, and there are no children playing, and hesitant vendors are still hesitating to set up their stalls.
Ye Yunyi walked slowly along the Cuining River like this, or stopped and stood by the stone fence on the bank to look at the quietly flowing river.
At this time, the Chu Palace, I'm afraid it's very busy, now a few old and difficult problems, I have almost solved them, and the problems in the palace will give those ministers and Taige elders a headache.
